I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.
They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can’t have that happening.
So it’s a good thing CB is changing back
I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don’t have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They’ll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that’s what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.
Step 1: Get a terrible rebranding done
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
Step 3: Reverse the decision letting people think they’ve won
Step 4: Profit
It’s New Coke all over again.
honestly I thought it was this too
The new logo is pretty terrible. I bet they paid a lot to some consulting company for it and when they saw how bad it was they wanted to at least try to get some benefit from it.
It’s literally simple. It’s just boring not bad
It’s just boring not bad
This has been the theme of every area of design since 2015. Cars, buildings, logos, websites, interior design; everything is not necessarily bad but really boring.
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
I see conspiracy theories everywhere
Conservatives are fucking dumb
EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewers are so easily led.
I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most
Conservatives are calling this a win? Really???
Cracker Barrel: Changes logo.
Me: Didn’t even know this happened months ago. Thats how little I care.
Conservatives: WE WILL FIGHT FOR A FICTIONAL OLD WHITE MAN’S RIGHT TO EXIST IN A LOGO!!!
Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.
Cracker Barrel: Changes logo back.
Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.
Conservatives: WE WON!!!
Me: STILL doesn’t give a shit. You’re the winner of a game that no one wants to play.
Bland logo? Not okay. Bland food? Totally fine.
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
Goddamnit stop teaching conservative snowflakes that their annoying, incessant whining works sometimes!
I mean, its cracker barrel. That’s their entire customer base.
I said it in the last thread and I’ll say it again here: I do not give a single flying fuck about any political motivation behind the changing nor changing back of the Cracker Barrel logo, either real or simply perceived, but their new logo was objectively terrible. It was so bland and unmemorable that whoever designed it should have their Macbook confiscated and be catapulted into the ocean. That is, the both of them. But preferably one each into different oceans. I don’t know how much that braindead rebrand cost them in consultancy fees but I hope they can ask for a refund.
bland and unmemorable
This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.
After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!
Put the old man back in, but add another man standing behind him with his hand on the first dude’s shoulder. They’ll flip their shit even harder.
And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.
I guess it’s easy to win a culture war where you’re the only belligerent
Good thing this “controversy” came along, I’d all but forgotten the place exists.
A new logo wasn’t going to change the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain so it’s fine by me of they keep the old logo, not like the new logo was going to get me to break my twenty plus year streak of avoiding this place.
the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain
Calling it Cracker Barrel is truth in advertising in that case.
Whiny snowflakes got their way and now see that they can threaten more businesses to cater to their WEIRD ASS COMPLAINTS
